[QUOTE="piter, post: 1038978, member: 100760"] It looks like constant writes to ssd is new normal for emsisoft now. Support is not able to help: "This 5 sec IO is by design. It is writing EDR events into the local database" They "might consider disabling this in a future update when Emsisoft is in Local only management". So it looks like all this data would be sent over internet but I only have local management (I do not need cloud to know everything about all of my files) so all this junk is now written into local database. In previous updates - there was simply ZERO writing. Now it just writes locally instead of uploading tons of useless data to cloud. Unfortunately emsisoft is still easiest AV to use. Kaspersky, eset, g data, norton - they are all troublesome when they detect someting as a virus, you have to restore it from quarantine, add it to exclusions manually etc. In emsisoft I simply click ALLOW and app launches fine. I even managed to get hold of legacy emsisoft (necessary when trying to install on win 7 as new versions do not work). Unfortunately it auto-updates itself to latest version on win 10.
